Day 1 Wednesday, 19 February 2020 - Arriving in London
by Kai and Bence
Our trip began, after arriving at London Gatwick Airport, and we were picked by our two friendly guides named Tom and Jo. It took us about an hour to get to the Youth Hostel, via small buses and the tube. We had low expectations for the hostel but as soon as we entered, our jaws dropped. The dormitories were beautiful and it had everything we needed. The dorms were filled with all kinds of cool and useful gadgets. Everyone had a night light, a USB charger and a plug next to their bed. We also had our own lockers where we could keep our clothes. After unpacking our bags, we headed into the heart of london. We rode on a double decker bus into Trafalgar Square. After seeing a few sights we walked on to Leicester Square to buy our own dinner, We were split up into groups of four or more and sent out to find something to eat. After some food, we were able to watch some street artists performing. We had a lovely day exploring the streets of London. We headed back to the hostel located in Holland Park, next to Holland House. Mr. Dea and Ms Lenzi spent the night making sure we all got some well needed sleep in preparation for the next day. Goodnight to all our parents - see you in two weeks - don't miss us.
Day 2 Thursday, 20 February 2020
by Mr. Dea
The morning began with a wake up call at 7:00 am before students cleaned their rooms, prepared themselves for the day and headed to breakfast. We began walking through the Kensington and Kyoto Garden before making our way to the tube. We travelled with early morning commuters in the tube to the centre of London. We entered the British Museum and perused the exhibitions of many ancient and medieval civilisations. Isaiah gave us an introduction to the significance of the Rosetta Stone before we all rushed to see the living history. Ancient artefacts from Egypt, Syria, the Etruscans and Rome allowed us to travel back in time and experience first hand these true wonders of our modern civilisation. Jacob and Ben told us of their most fascinating discoveries.
The weather has been trub and wet and the indoor learning has provided an invigorating and intellectual warmth. We walked on to Oxford Street with a new opportunity to visit Hamley's Toy Shop. The famous Carnaby Street and SOHO showed us a different side of London that was for many, a new and exciting metropol. To once again warm our intellect and our own cultural understandings we headed to the National Gallery. To view works from the great masters was a pleasure beyond comprehension. Students were able to visit artists such as Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh and many more. They recorded their favourite works and shared this information with each other.
Departing, we made our way to Chinatown, bustling in New Years' excitement. Our evening dinner comprised of traditional chinese foods in our own private dining room. We then jumped on the London Eye as the sun set over the London Skyline. To cap off the evening we caught the boat down the Thames River to the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. We walked back through the southside of The Thames passed Sir Francis Drake's famous ship and the Globe Theatre. Our tube ride took us home to our hostel in Holland Park before lights out at 10:30pm. Tomorrow looks to be an exciting day stepping back into the Stone Age and then heading the the South West countryside of England. We look forward to more student writing which will be published tomorrow. Keep an eye out for our pictures, soon to be uploaded in our own Photo Gallery. Until tomorrow and good night!
Day 2 Thursday, 20 February 2020
by Cathi and Carolin
The day started on a positive as we slept in and Ms. Lenzi had to wake us all up with many loud bangs on the door. We slowly crawled out of bed and stumbled to breakfast with our friends before heading off to Holland Park and the Kyoto garden. We saw two fantastic and majestic peacocks. When we finished visiting the parks we went to the British Museum, a definite highlight for the day. We saw many interesting things as we made our way through the Museum. The Rosetta Stone and the remains of ancient civilisations were certainly our most favourite.
Sandwiches for lunch and a bit of shopping on Carnaby street were followed by a visit to the National Gallery, where we personally enjoyed the amazing stories behind some of the artists' greatest works. We travelled to Chinatown. It looked very bright and colorful, as it was still decorated after the Chinese New Year festivities. We shared a big banquet with our class.
The day continued to get better and better as we headed to the London Eye and watched the sun setting over the London skyline. There are thousands of photos to share. We then viewed a 4D movie of London at its best before taking a boat ride down the Thames river. The lights at night really divulged a different side of London. We walked, and walked, and walked seeing the London Tower, Tower Bridge, the Millenium bridge, the Shard and much more. With sore legs we said good night to London town and made our way back via a double-decker bus to our hostel at Holland Park. We dropped into bed with a smile on our faces.
Day 3 Friday, 21 February 2020
by Katharina A and Vita
Today we woke at 7:00 am. Although we were all tired, we enjoyed a good hearty breakfast. Before we embarked on our journey to Moorland Hall, we packed our day packs. We walked through Kensington Gardens, passed Kensington Palace and stopped at Queen Victoria's memorial statue. On our way to the Royal Albert Hall, we saw Prince Albert's impressive statue in gold and a strange bird in the gardens, was it a parrot? Luckily no one fell into the Serpentine river - it had happened to many others - but we were all fascinated by the swans and ducks. After taken many pictures of Buckingham Palace, we were lucky enough to watch the changing of the Royal Guards. In St. James' Park we met some Eastern Pelicans.
We visited the Royal Cavalry before heading back to take the Tube to Heathrow Airport to meet our buses and travel on to our new destination - Stonehenge. We visited the impressive Stone Age monument and the exhibition centre and souvenir shop. We all loved the 'Jazzies', drops of chocolate with coloured sprinkles. At 7:00 pm we arrived at Moorland Hall to a warm lasagne, a fresh salad and a evening desert. We had our first meeting with the guides and then settled into our rooms in the coach house. We are all looking forward to a restful night before tomorrow's activities on the Dartmoor National Park. Good night and sleep tight.
Day 4 Saturday, 22 February 2020
By Vanessa and Julian
Dear Diary,
Pancakes and maple syrup for breakfast, this is definitely better than home. After breakfast we put on our waterproof clothing and hopped onto the mini van to go to Dartmoor National Park Visitor Centre Princetown. Here we discovered the real secrets of the Dartmoor National Park.
John, our magic guide, shared the history myths, and secrets of the moors. He told us about a man and his horse, and how they completely sank into the bog. We saw real stone age ruins while we were walking through the moors. We came back for lunch at one o'clock and ate some delicious sandwiches and a packet of chips.
After lunch we went in Jo´s backyard and did a lot of outside climbing activities, for example doing something similar to bungee jumping or stacking up crates and climbing on them. That was great fun. Then we went for a shower and now we are sitting here writing our report about today's day and look forward to this evening's dinner.
After dinner, our guide's have a mystery evening of fun planned for us. See you tomorrow!
Day 5 Sunday, 23 February 2020 - Eden Project - St. Austell Bay
by Jakob and Toby
A large bubble rose out of the old landscape. Today we travelled to the world-renowned Eden project, an environmental project turned charity, that regenerated an old clay pit. After one and a half hours of driving through the county of Cornwall, we arrived at our destination.
We were blown away by the sheer size of the complex. It reminded us of Jurassic Park. We began our tour at the core centre which informed us about microorganisms of our planet.
After having lunch we split into two groups. Group A explored the diverse Mediterranean Biomes whilst group B ventured into the tropical, and very humid, rainforest biomes. Our assignment had us searching for many different plants and environments throughout the exhibition. One of the real challenges was the botanical sketching session. See the photo gallery for some of the more talented pictures. The groups were then able to swap biomes and share their immediate reactions to these amazing worlds. An amazing change has rekindled this old clay pit.
As we were so close to the beach, we decided to head down to St. Austell Bay to smell the fresh sea air. We had a wonderful time walking the beach, talking with friends, singing songs and turning cartwheels. We arrived home tired but welcomed by a wonderful evening meal of curry and rice, followed by a chocolate cake with ice-cream and chocolate sauce.
Our evening activity took us right up to our bedtime and so we quickly got ready and fell into bed after a long happy day. Good night!
by Kathi K and Philippa
Here we are standing in the middle of a rainforest in England, this is so weird! We had- been working on an assignment at the Eden project to explore the rainforest and all its wonderful plants. We enjoyed seeing plants from all over the world that we had never seen before. We stood by a huge waterfall and felt the cooling mist as the water droplets fell on our face. After climbing up a viewing platform, we saw the entire rainforest biome.
We then made a change across to the cooler climate of the Mediterranean Biome. Here, we were given the opportunity to sketch one plant that took our interest. We both sketched a palm tree. It was a soothing place with clean, refreshing air which made our drawings even better. It has inspired us to think more about the environment in which we live. Please don't forget about our world - there is no planet B. Good night! :)
Day 6 Monday, 24 February 2020 - Kayaking and English Classes and Badminton
a dialogue by Parker & Günther
Parker: Hey Günther, nice to see you again!
Günther: Hey Parker, nice to see you as well, how was your day?!
P: My day was brilliant! In the morning, I was a little less enthusiastic when I heard that we were going to have English lessons but we met up with John, our teacher, and the morning turned really fun activities. How was your morning?
G: Well, my morning was great. We headed out to the shed and picked up all our equipment for a session of kayaking on a nearby lake. We got a wetsuit, shoes, a waterproof jacket, helmet and buoyancy aid. We then travelled approximately 20 minutes to the lake. But tell me, what did you do while we were driving to the lake?
P: Well, we were put into two groups to prepare a presentation for later in the week. One group was given the topic of the history of Dartmoor and the other, the Dartmoor National Park. We worked on developing a suitable structure before we began researching. A short break separated our next activity. We listened to a song and had to try and rewrite the lyrics in order to try and identify how much of the song we understood. What were you doing at this time?
G:Jo, Toby, Will & Helen, our guides, gave us some kayaks and a short introduction to holding our paddles and getting into the kayak. During our paddling session, we began playing games such as water basketball and british bulldogs. This helped us very quickly to get used to our boats and stay warm at the same time. A few people fell out of their kayaks during our games. They were quickly rescued and got right back into the games with a smile on their faces. While we were wet? what were you doing, Parker?
P: While you guys were on the water, my group and I were just finished with an english lesson and were enjoying some free time. And then we all shared lunch together, don't you remember?
G:Oh yes, I do remember that warm and delicious meal. The plan for the rest of day was very exciting: You, Parker, are going to go kayaking on the lake and we are spending all afternoon in english lessons.
P: The days here are so full of activity, we hardly have any time to socialize.
G: The evening activities are a great place to spend time together. Today we made our wristbands and keyrings.
P: As Sherlock Holmes of Dartmoor would say, "All in all a good day sir."
G: And as Watson would say, "Elementary, my dear sir."
Day 7 Tuesday, 25 February 2020
By Habiba
Dear Diary,
Today we started our day earlier than we normally would, because group 1A had to depart for St. Joseph's, a popular local school in the area. We had breakfast earlier than we had done over the past few days. We had to wear blouses and dark trousers so as to fit in with the other students. When we were done we found Jo and Ms Lenzi waiting for us with a big car. We drove to the school in Launceston and were pretty excited because we wanted to know what the school would look like and who was going to be our buddy for the day.
On arrival we found the German teacher; she was very friendly and nice. We talked to her a bit until Olivia and Jack arrived. Olivia was the girls' buddy and Jack was the boys' buddy. They were both very friendly. First, we took short tour of the whole school, it was not that big, but it was very nice. I totally liked the vibe of this school. After we were done with the tour our team was divided in half, three girls went with Olivia and three boys went with Jack to their respective classes. Our first period was Drama in the school's own theatre. We played a game to get to know each other better. We were pretty shy at first and we didn't really talk to anyone except for Olivia but then during the second period, which was English, we talked to the girls in that class they were so nice to us and they always wanted to help us and make us feel included. English was boring at first because they were doing work and we didn't find anything to do but when they were done the English teacher said that they can take their Ipads out and we played English Kahoot. Of course some girls shared their ipads with us because we didn't have any. It was so much fun.
After English it was lunchtime, we all had lunch together in a big restaurant. There was a lot of people, teachers and food. There was pasta, salad, soup and cheese burgers but the coolest thing was the desert, it was ice cream cake, everybody loved it. The lunch break was about 30 minutes and after the lunch break we had maths. Maths is not my favourite subject but today the maths teacher taught me a lot of new methods to solve a lot of different problems and for the first time I enjoyed maths a lot. When we were done with maths, we went to a different class and we had sort of a short lesson, it only lasted 15 minutes. We didn't do much during this lesson, first the teacher checked if everyone was at school and then she showed us pictures of famous people and places and we had to name them. I couldn't name all of them, but most of them. This lesson was kind of an exercise to get our brains working because we were very tired. After those 15 minutes of brain exercising, we took part in a really new lesson called mental health and wellbeing. At first I thought it was going to be boring but it turned out to be so much fun. We were talking about mental illnesses, we even had a presentation about a disorder called OCD. Isabel , Cathie and I presented were a little bit unprepared but we actually did very well. Everyone understood everything and the teacher enjoyed our style, she even wrote a little piece of paper for Mrs Lenzi, telling her how good we were presenting our powerpoint in a really short time.
The day was a success, we had a great time, learned a lot about the english school system and most importantly, we met some great people.
By Ginevra and Isabel
Now that Habiba told you how her day at St. Joseph's went, I will talk you through my day with group 1B and group 2. We also had to rise and shine earlier this morning, like group 1A, which didn't really appeal to us...but guess what? We had to do it anyway. So as Habiba already said we woke up at 7:30am, and after that we had to clean our rooms and get ready for the day. Our group (group 2) went to a high ropes course and archery in the morning while group 1B had English. Archery was an amazing experience and new for us as we had never tried it before. We were guided by Helen and Niamh who were always very caring and explained everything step by step. During archery, it was Bence‘s time to shine as he told us he had been training for nearly a year now. And of course he was good at it, but not only him, I also hit the golden target once. After completing the tournament, we went to the high ropes course, which was very challenging for me as I am slightly scared of heights. Like many others in my group it pushed me to my limits and I overcame my fear of heights. I feel like these activities can really bring people together and our class community grows throughout these experiences. I had lots of fun because I don't do these activities on the daily, even though I wish I could.The atmosphere was also amazing, as we were all helping and motivating each other at all times. After that we had lunch and went to English class straight away. In English we worked on our presentations which we will be presenting in the near future. Our English class is being taught by John, who is a very fun teacher and makes every lesson better and funnier. Today the weather was a rollercoaster. I would say it went from the sun shining, to rain, wind then it started hailing and then this cycle started all over again. Later on we had dinner and like every night we had night activities.Tonight we played Pictionary and Charades which was all over the place and we all had fun. In my opinion the night activities are the best part of the day because we get to stay all together and socialize with each other. It's very relaxing but at the same time entertaining.
All in all it was a great day!!!
Good night everyone!!!

Day 9 Thursday, 27 February 2020
By Günther, Ben and Isaia
Finally the sun is shining! We got up and went to breakfast, where Günther and Julian were on duty, which meant they had to set the table for breakfast. After breakfast we split into 3 groups, one visited the Okehampton College, one visited St.Joseph´s College and the third one went mountain-biking on the Moors nearby. Now we will share with you some insights from our visit at Okehampton College.
We 12 students took a ride, about 30 minutes, in the minibus to Okehampton. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed by our buddies at the college. Our buddies took us to different classes, for example: IT, Drama, Music, French, History, Geography, Art and Sports. After the 4th lesson we had lunch together with our group. The school was way different than the schools in Austria. They have a cafeteria for lunch, every teacher has their own classroom, they have tablets and laptops and their school starts at 09:15. After the school day we were took the ride back to Moorland Hall. We shared our amazing day with the rest of the class.
Day 10 Friday, 28 February 2020
By Vanessa
„It’s 7am”, I heard a voice saying. Well guess who it was? Ms. Lenzi came into the girls’ room and woke us up for breakfast. We all got out of bed, got dressed and last but not least our make-up. Then at about 7:30 am we packed our bags and went downstairs for breakfast. We met the boys for breakfast, having cereal, toast, fruit and boiled eggs. Then at 8:15 am, half of us left for Okehampton College whilst at 8:30 am the other half left for St. Joseph’s School. I was on the bus to Okehampton and it was actually a lot of fun, as we started the first two lessons with arts and crafts. Then we had a 25-minute break. The next two lessons were French and then Science. I loved Science. We dissolved metal pieces and saw some cool colour’s sparking in the process. Following Science, we had a longer lunch break which lasted almost an hour. We met Ms. Lenzi in the lunchroom for lunch. I’m now sitting in Geography lesson writing this blog entry. I can tell you that I would love to go to this school. I am sad that I’ll have to go but I can’t change the way it is. The girls and boys I met here were also really kind and it was a lot of fun spending time with them in their classes. If I could I would love to spend some more days here together with the AGI and Okehampton people. I like to say thanks to all who made it possible.,,
Reflections on schools in Britain
by Günther
In this school, the students have to leave the class as every teacher has there own classroom. The children also have to say Ms. and Sir to the teachers.
by Ben
At Okehampton College, the students have to wear school uniforms. The teachers also have their own classrooms.
by Vita
At Okehampton, all the students call the teachers Ms. and Sir. Every teacher has his or her won classroom. There is a cafeteria with the opportunity to sit with fellow students. One lesson is 60 minutes long and school begins at 8:45 am.
by Teo
At Okehampton, they have a cafeteria offering a warm lunchtime meal. I really like their uniforms, I had also worn one when I was living in Dubai. It is cool how they call their teachers Ms. or Sir. The have a really big football pitch and tennis court. I would like to have one of those.
Day 11 Saturday, 29 February 2020
By Ginevra and Habiba
“Wakey, wakey.” Good morning people!
Today I (Ginevra) woke all the girls up….OOPS. We spent the whole day outside today, from 9am to 9pm. Let us tell you how we spent it …
First we went to Looe, where we visited RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution). The tour guide gave us a quick overview about how the boats work and how they use them to rescue people in the UK. There are around 900 stations in the UK, pretty cool right? After showing us the boats, he showed us the uniforms all rescuers have to wear to go out in the ocean. The uniforms weigh a lot to keep them warm in cold Atlantic waters, they weigh about 25Kg for each person. After that we had a walk near the beach, it was pretty windy but exactly that cold wind gave us lots of energy and positive vibes for the rest of the day. We had lunch in front of that beautiful view and then we had time to go shopping. And of course, our group was late … but what’s new?
Anyways the really cool part of that small shopping trip was that we had the possibility to get fudge from one of the best fudge shops in the area. Following that was a trip to the aquarium, but little did we know it was closed due to an alternative event. So instead we decided to walk around the town of Plymouth. And later on, we got to go to the Drake circus, which is near to one of the different memorials of Drake. The Drake Circus is a huge shopping mall and we stayed there for a while. Dinner time! Well today we felt a bit fancy and went to have dinner at a local British pub, the food was delicious there. We can totally recommend it. We had an entire room to ourselves and our hosts put on a traditional pub quiz.
Now we are in bed after this long trip thinking about how sad it’s going to be going back to school, because this adventure has been amazing so far!
Day 12 Sunday, 1 March 2020
By Kai and Jostein
Our day began with our ritual morning meeting with Jo followed by an 8:30 am breakfast in the dining room with today’s special, fresh croissants. The food on this trip has been great. A 90 minute drive then brought us to the north coast of Cornwall and a place called Rock. We took a passenger ferry to the other side of the inlet and landed at a town called Padstow. We all shared lunch together on the harbour wall. We had some free time in the village before returning to the harbour to go 'Crabbing'. We let down some lines, weighted with bacon, into the water. In no time at all we began catching crabs. Teo, became the Crab Master after have caught 9 crabs. Of course we returned all crabs back to the sea so as not to anger the sea gods. We caught the ferry back to Rock and then walked the cornish coastline to Daymer Bay. It was wonderful walk with our classmates, offline and free. We drove on to Polzneath, a famous surf beach in the area. After a play in the shallows and on the beach, we drove back to Moorland Hall. Tonight we will celebrate Carolin's 13th birthday with a party, she doesn't know and we hope to surprise her. The plan is then to watch a film together.
See you tomorrow, bye for now, catch you later, asta la vista
Day 13 Monday, 2 March 2020
by Lena and Oliver
Today we woke up with beautiful weather and beautiful breakfast. After breakfast we had a meeting in the sitting room, where Jo told us about what we were going to be doing today. We had a choice between going mountain-biking or going on a quick hike to Pew Tor and visiting the town of Tavistock to do some shopping or eat some good food. I, Oliver chose Pew Tor and Tavistock and Lena chose mountain-biking. So we set off with the cars to Pew Tor! 10mins later we arrived and immediately set off on our hike. We walked straight up the hill. A little later we arrived at the top. It was a spectacular view and it looked way cooler than stonehenge. On the top Niamh told us about the letterboxes which are located near some of the Tors. It is a true story which I can share with you later if you like. At this time Lena was out mountain-biking. She started directly from our camp. After a short safety talk they rode up a nearby hillside in the Dartmoor National Park. The path was wet and muddy and almost impossible to climb, but we did it!!! We rode through fields and rivers and deep waterholes and laughed all the way. Our guides, Toby and Will gave us a biscuit as a reward for making it halfway along the tour. We then had a fast downhill back to the village of Mary Tavy. Back at Moorland Hall we had to clean our bikes and have them ready for the afternoon group. We couldn't wait for lunch but we had to. While we waited we played Twister with our group and the guides. A great morning was had by all. Oliver's group was still out in Tavistock enjoying the pizza shop and looking at locally made make-up products.They too then arrived back at Moorland Hall for lunch.
After lunch we spent the next three and a half hours with John, our amazing English teacher. We were introduced to the wonderful language of Roald Dahl. It was fun to explore the creativity of this writer. This was a gateway to conversational English and storytelling. After a short break we continued with the preparation for our group presentations.
The evening started with a traditional English roast dinner and a very sweet cake for desert. It was lucky that we were going for a night walk. We drove a short distance where we began our climb up to a church on the hill. The church was called St. Michael's and was lit up by a clear moonlit night. We went in as a class in total silence and sat for a short while and reflected upon the last two weeks here together with our class. It was a nice way to end the day.
See you tomorrow:)
by Katharina A
So today in the afternoon, group 2 set out mountain biking on the Dartmoor National Park. Although we were wet from the rain and the puddles we had an enjoyable time. We especially liked the downhilling at the end. Fortunately, everyone arrived home safely and could have a nice warm shower. We are so looking forward to dinner.

J: Nice! What did you do after English?
G: After English we had lunch. Later on we went with Jo's minibus to Buckland Abbey.
J: What is Buckland Abbey? I've never heard about it.
G: Sir Frances Drake bought Buckland Abbey when he made a lot of money.
J: Who was Sir Frances Drake?
G: He was a hero of Queen Elizabeth 1, because he stole the riches of spain and gave it to the crown.
J: Now I also know something about Sir Frances Drake. Where did you go after Buckland Abbey?
G: After that we went back to Moorland Hall, where we made some Cream Tea. Right after Cream Tea we had our 4 presentations, with the topics: RNLI(Royal National Lifeboat Institution), Dartmoor History, Dartmoor Today and Dartmoor Legend. Finally we went to bed.
Another great day got over!!
Day 15 Wednesday, 4 March 2020
By Gg and Tt(Ginevra and Teo)
WOW!!! It's already our last day here in England.
I still can't believe our journey is already over.We have been through so many emotions, excited,happy,homesick,sad,surprised and many more..
This is really it,we might not be able to come back here altogether as a class ever again.
It was also very hard to leave the instructors,teachers,dogs and guides behind.They always helped us and made us feel welcomed and happy.We never thought it would have been this hard to go back to our normal lives because we really bonded in this trip and our class community really grew. :-) We learned how to work together and we really got to know each other well,including all our flaws.This experience was unique and it will for sure be a highlight of our lives forever.
Thank you Mrs.Dea,Ms.Lenzi and all the people for making this wonderful experience happen. :-) ;-)
